And Joab arose, and went to Gedsur, and brought Abessalom to Jerusalem.
24
And the king said, Let him return to his house, and not see my face. And Abessalom returned to his house, and saw not the king's face.
25
And there was not a man in Israel so very comely as Abessalom: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
26
And when he polled his head, (and it was at the beginning of every year that he polled it, because it grew, heavy upon him,) even when he polled it, he weighed the hair of his head, two hundred shekels according to the royal shekel.
27
And there were born to Abessalom three sons and one daughter, and her name was Themar: she was a very beautiful woman, and she becomes the wife of Roboam son of Solomon, and she bears to him Abia.
28
And Abessalom remained in Jerusalem two full years, and he saw not the king's face.
29
And Abessalom sent to Joab to bring him in to the king, and he would not come to him: and he sent to him the second time, and he would not come.
